CLAUDE AI SKILLS · SECTION 8 INVESTING

Your Section 8
deal work,
done by AI.

Stop scrolling hundreds of listings and rebuilding the same spreadsheet. Deal Finder surfaces the few listings worth your time; Deal Analyzer runs the underwriting you'd do by hand — state law, crime, live HUD FMR, full cash flow — and gives you a straight verdict. Both run inside Claude.

Guided 5-step setup — takes about 2 minutes, no experience needed.

Deal Finder searches. Deal Analyzer verifies.

You don't have to choose one. Deal Finder does the wide, repetitive search across listing sites; Deal Analyzer does the slow, careful math on what survives. Every candidate below passed Finder's pre-screen — see what Analyzer found when it looked closer.

SKILL 01 · DEAL FINDER

Finds the candidates.

Searches Redfin, Zillow, and Homes.com for listings matching your criteria, then ranks every result with a rent-to-price viability ratio before anything reaches you.

  • Scans three listing sources in one pass
  • Pre-screens with a viability ratio, not a gut check
  • Hands off only the listings worth a full review

SKILL 02 · DEAL ANALYZER

Verifies the math.

Runs each candidate through 5 steps — state law, property criteria, crime, live HUD FMR, and full cash flow — and gives an honest verdict, even when a listing looked promising.

  • Verifies landlord-friendliness and eviction timelines
  • Fetches live mortgage rates and FY2026 HUD FMR data
  • Says “Hard Pass” when the math doesn't work — no hype

Live mortgage rates

Fetches the current investment property rate from Bankrate/NerdWallet at the start of every analysis. Never uses a cached or assumed rate.

🗺

SAFMR awareness

Distinguishes county-wide FMR from Small Area FMR by zip code — the difference that makes or breaks deals in Memphis, Indianapolis, and other SAFMR markets.

⚖️

Honest verdicts

If the math doesn't work, the skill says Hard Pass — with the exact breakeven price, so you know what it would take to make the deal work.

🏗

HQS inspection flags

Scans listing language for lead paint, HVAC issues, water damage, and 'as-is' signals that commonly cause HUD inspection failures.

⚙️

Fully configurable

Customize every parameter — price range, expense ratios, bedroom targets, minimum cash flow threshold — then download a skill tuned exactly to your strategy.

"Finally, a tool that actually understands SAFMRs and does the math correctly."

Sarah M. — Section 8 Investor

"It catches HQS red flags I used to miss until I'd already paid for an inspection."

James T. — Portfolio Manager
